How to see Stage 4 of USA Pro Challenge 2015

THURSDAY, August 20, STAGE 4 - Aspen to Breckenridge

What is the best way to see Stage 4 of the 2015 USA Pro Challenge as a fan? Whether this is your fifth year of attending this exciting race or you are a totally new fan to the event. This easy one-page guide is intended to help locals and tourists better plan for watching Stage 4 in Aspen and Breckenridge, Colorado.

Please note that road closure times and exact finish times sometimes change closer to race day.

Racers and spectators know this exit from Aspen well, and this entrance into Breckenridge well. But although it might seems this route is repeated every year, the only time this exact route has been used in the USA Pro Challenge from Aspen to Breckenridge, was in 2013.

2013 was the year a Forest Ranger was seen hula hooping on Independence Pass and a solo rider was first to the summit of Independence Pass.

MENS TEAMS: Read much more about the teams selected in this Pedal Dancer® post: Which Teams will race in the USA Pro Challenge 2015? Official startlist of riders has not yet been announced by race organizers.

Feed Zone: Location is not advertised for safety; might be in south Buena Vista after the sprint.

Highlights: Start in downtown Aspen, climb over Independence Pass,
sprint in Buena Vista and Fairplay, climb over Hoosier Pass, climb up
Moonstone Rd and descend Boreas Pass before finishing on Main St in
Breckenridge.

The VIP tent will be in Blue River Plaza (marked below) as it has been in past years. The VIP tent usually extends down the pretty plaza, with the short end of the tent on the street. Last year additional stadium seating was added for better VIP viewing. The VIP tent in right near the finish line.
